I’ve always felt that blockchain data lag isn’t really a technical problem—it’s a permissions problem. Run a Subgraph to fetch historical data and it’s painfully slow; and the moment you enable any node RPC rate limiting, you basically can’t get a complete response. Forget about it even more when some indexers charge fees but their underlying stack still depends on free public chain nodes—plainly, it’s a nested scheme to save money. In the end, users think they’re using a decentralized data layer, but in reality they’re still watching other people’s preferences. And I don’t know how much recent tax-rate shifts in some regions will impact future fiat on-ramps and off-ramps, but at least my expectations for deposits and withdrawals feel even tighter—if you can save money, just save. Even looking up an on-chain record means having to count the number of RPC calls, which is kind of absurd. The decentralized ideal is all sunshine and roses, but the reality is that the “node lords” limit you whenever they want, and you can’t even refresh your status.
